Do I need a visa?

Not every international visitor needs a visa. The U.S. Department of State Visa Waiver Program permits travel to the U.S. from several countries without a visa for qualifying visits.

However, if you do not need a visa to travel to the U.S., you are required to apply for an Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA).

Visit the ESTA program website  to find the list of countries included in the Visa Waiver Program and get more information about applying. You must register for ESTA before your travel dates.

Visa application tips:

Please request your visa invitation letters as early as you can, and no later than 90 days before your travel dates as visa application process may take 90 days or longer.

To schedule your visa interview, wait until you've received your letter(s) from IDDBA, then visit the U.S. State Department website  to find your nearest U.S. Embassy and make an appointment.

In the case that your visa application is denied, reapply immediately and add any missing or requested information. If this does not resolve it, you should inquire about your case by emailing businessvisa@state.gov or calling 202-663-3198.

A service called the Visa Assistance Program (recognized by the U.S. State Department) can expedite visa processing and arrange special appointments with the U.S. Consulate Offices. Learn more by visiting the program website.
